SPEL Stormwater Installation & Operation Manual | SPEL Filter
Maintenance Frequency
The SPELFilter’s design allows for a greater life
span when frequently maintenance. Maintenance
is broken up into three categories which include:
standard inspection; general cleaning; and cartridge
replacement.
Standard inspection
Standard inspections are conducted at regular four-
month intervals. At this time, an approved trained
maintenance officer or SPEL representative shall
undertake all measures outlined in Maintenance
Procedure, Standard Inspection.
General Cleaning
At the end of each standard inspection, trigger
measures will identify if general cleaning is required.
General cleaning will need to be executed immediate
during standard inspections if the follow triggers are
satisfied:
• Build-up of debris/pollutants within the vault greater
than 150mm;
• Accumulation of debris/pollutants on the outlet
chamber of the SPELFilter vault;
• After large storm events, tidal or flooding impacts at
the request of the owner;
Cartridge Replacement
Stormwater treatment is dependent on the
effectiveness of the SPELFilter cartridge system. As the
SPELFilter ages, pollutants will inundate the cartridge
and ultimately reduce the treatment flow rate. At this
point, a SPELFilter flow test apparatus will be utilities to
determine if replacement cartridges are required.
Based on the [site] concept modelling (MUSIC) and
previous industry experience, we estimate the life
of the SPELFilter to be between 6 - 8 years. As a
minimum requirement, each SPELFilter cartridge
should be replaced within 10 years.
The life cycle of the SPELFilter can be impacted if
standard inspections and general maintenance is not
undertaken in accordance with this operation and
maintenance Guide. Other factors that will affect the
above life cycle of the SPELFilter include:
• Installation of cartridge system during construction
phase and impacted by construction sediment loads;
• Neglecting to install pre-treatment using an industry
approved GPT or a surface inlet pit trash bag such as
the SPEL StormSack.
• Unforeseen environmental hazards affecting the
SPELFilter functionality.
